I serve organizations and families across Frederick County, from Stephens City and Middletown to Gore and Clear Brook.
I am Zach Baumgart, a paramedic and former federal special agent with more than 25 years of public safety and law enforcement experience. About me
Security in Frederick County
Frederick County surrounds the City of Winchester and combines fast-growing neighborhoods, distribution centers, orchards, and rural roads. Its location on Interstate 81 and Route 50 brings heavy traffic and many visitors, and growth has put more homes, schools, and businesses within reach of the same responders.
A clear emergency plan, a review of how people enter your building or property, and a trusted advisor you can call quickly help business owners, schools, and families decide what to do before something happens.
